The International Symposium on Multi-Robot and Multi-Agent Systems is an initiative of the IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Multi-Robot Systems, and is technically co-sponsored by IEEE. The goal is to convene researchers in multi-robot systems (MRS) and multi-agent systems (MAS) to cross-fertilize ideas in a single-track conference. The intent of the conference is to bring MRS and MAS researchers together with a high-quality symposium to highlight the top advances in multi-robot and multi-agent research.

Final Submission Deadline: June 24
Acceptance Notification: September 2

Topics of interest include:
-Modeling and Control of MRS/MAS
-Optimal Control and Optimization Methods for MRS/MAS
-Bio-Inspired MRS and Swarm Intelligence/Robotics
-Distributed Perception and Estimation in MRS/MAS
-Planning and Decision Making for MRS/MAS
-Physical Interaction in/with MRS/MAS
-Cooperative/Collective Learning in MRS/MAS
